WASHINGTON, April 26 (Reuters) - The United States is not testing airplane travelers from Mexico for the swine flu virus that has heightened fears of a possible pandemic, U.S. Homeland Security Secretary Janet Napolitano said on Sunday.
"Right now we don't think the facts warrant more active testing or screening of passengers coming in from Mexico," she said at a White House briefing.

If the death rate is rising to an under reported 103 in Mexico. Do we have to wait till someone dies in the USA for Napolitano to check air travelers arriving from Mexico? Other countries are screening people. I think it is a good idea. All the cases of Swine Flu in the USA and around the world have a connection with travel to Mexico. I guess if we stick our heads in the sand everything is better.

I say.
1 - Screen travelers arriving from Mexico.
2 - Suspend all imports of products from Mexico till we know it is safe.
3 - Tighten the border!

This "outbreak" may be the straw that broke the camels back. This is coming at a time when our economy is week and failing. If other countries, like Russia is doing, start to ban USA and Mexican products that will cause a further slowdown.

I wouldn't be surprised if the markets are taking a hit tomorrow. More to watch.
